House Prepares
Bill for Sterili
zation Move
Commission of Doctors to Pass on
Eligibility of Subjects in State
Institutions.
Procedure for the sterilization of
inmates of the state insane hospitals,
the institute for feeble-minded, the
womens' industrial home, the train-
ing school for girls, the industrial"
school for boys, the penitentiary, and
the reformatories for men and worn-
en is taken entirely out of the board
of control's hands by the state in-
stitutions committee of the Nebraska
house in drafting a substitute bill
for S. F. 197; heretofore passed by
the senate.
The substitute, which was report-
ed out for the general file Friday
morning, is broader and more sweep-
ing in its terms than the measure
.v, v. Vi a ccroto'c annrnv.il
, stitutions under their supervision.
Senators Reed and Jeary, who in-
troduced S. r . 117, are understood
1 to be satisfied with the action o
tne nouse in maKing tneir diu suiMis-
er than it was before; but whether
the senate will agree to what has"
been done by the house committee is
regarded as doubtful. Such amend-
ments as the senate added when it
.. . :j ,i
had the bill under consideration
were in the direction of toning
down the sterlization requirements.
General Scope of Substitutes
Provisions of the house committee
eubstitutes are as follows:
1. Heads of institutions to report
in advance to the board of control
the names of inmates who will be
come eligible for parole during the
next three months, whom they deem
to be proper subjects of inquiry with
regard to sterilization (feeble-mind-
,ed, insane, habitually criminal, moral
degenerates, or sexual perverts).
2. Board of examiners, consisting
of five institution physicians appoint
ed by board of control, to make an
examination into the mental and pny
sical conditions and characteristics
of such persons.
3. Board of examiners to notify
guardian or near relative of any in
mate thus reported as a proper sub
ject for sterilization, or county court
of county from which he was com
mitted, and conduct of hearing there
on. Should a sterilization order be
issued, 30 days time shall be allowed
for appeal to district court, where in
stitution is located, before proceeding
with the operation. Subsequent ap
peal may be taken to the state su
preme court.
4. Operations to be performed at
the institution where the inmate is
bv one selected and paid by the
confined, either by a staff surgeon or
relative or guardian.
5. Parole of inmates from institu
tions made subject to sterilization
where board of examiners finds it ad
visable. In the senate bill, the superintend
ent of each institution was required
to make recommendations for ster
ilization to the board of control, and
that body was to hear and decide
each case. The board of control is
relieved of all responsibility and
duties in the matter by the house
substitute, except that it will ap
point the board of examiners.
SUGA REXPERT IS PLEASED
Geneva Luis Marino Perez, Cuban
delegate to the conference of inter
national sugar experts, said Thurs
day night that the session had an at
mosphere favorable to suggestions
for solution of the sugar crisis. He
adhered to the secrecy rule adopted
for the discission, but said that he
left free to explain that the attitude
of Cuba was that of whole hearted
collaboration with any measure
which might be deemed practicable.
The economic committee of the
league of nations has declared that
the crisis was due to lack of equi
librium between production and con
sumption. Senor Perez said he per
sonally believed that much could be
achieved in the way of increasing
consumption. He warned, however,
against expecting too much from the
present deliberations of the experts,
who are charged merely with ad
vancing suggestions to the economic
committee of the league.

New With Plea That Home

.
Lincoln, April 5. Representative
Fickler furnished the house Friday
with something new and unique in
legislation by asking it to abolish a
highway route running through his
own county, Stanton. He not only,
asked tnis, out eloquently voiced a
demand that this be done as a matter
of simple justice to that county . His
appeal was answered by 60 members
voting for such action.
Because the roads and bridges com
mittee had indefinitely postponed Mr.!

Sees Further Deflation.
The board would be provided with
ja revolving fund of 300 million dol
lars from the treasury to make loans
to stablization corporations with
which to buy, store and sell crops
so as to prevent the surplus from ,
lowering the price, and commodity ;
councils would he created to advise
the producers of the various crops
on efficient and economical principles

Merton L. Corey of Scarsdale, N. I

the farm problem, he believes the
farm board and stablization cor
porations would aid. The big job
of the farm board, he said, would
be to take the lead in merging the
co-operative marketing agencies to
eliminate competition among them.
The only farm relief that can
come, he said, must be through the
slow, orderly process of marketing
improvement. The farmer himself
must largely work out his own sal
vation. One task for the farm board,
CorKey said, would lie to work out
a sound land policy. He said it seem
ed incongruous for the government
on the one hand to be spending mil
lions of dollars to bring into cultiva
tion desert lands to produce a sur
plus and on the other hand, to be
spending other millions to avoid the
consequences of 'that surplus.

Tuesday Is Reported as nut
Bit of Butchery
Mexico City Federal cavalry,
pursuing the rebels who were driven
o:it of Jimine:;, inflicted another
crushing defeat on them at La Re
forma, a small village eleven miles
north of the scene of Monday and
Tuesday's bitter battle. A report to
this effect received at the presidential
offices n Chaplutepec castle Wednes
day night said that the rebels were
routed and that several of their
trains, which had been held up at La
Reforma by a burned railway bridge,
were captured. The fight resulted in
heavy casualties.
The report of the fight came from
1 nua tf iiuc DUium;
"The rebel infantry was destroy
ed," said the report. "All who were
not killed were taken as prisoners
and the rebel trains are also in pos
session of the federals. It wa:i a true
butchery. The enemy had a tremen
dous number of dead.
"The federal? will have to take

General Calles told the president
! that the rebels in this fight "paid

Long Waited 'Action at Naco.
Naco, Sonora A bit of strategy
by fifty federal calvrymen brought
the opening skirmish in the long
waited battle of Naco. A detachment
of approximately seventy-five rebel
horsemen was drawn within range of
n federal machine gun outpost, which
sprayed it with bullets.
Federal machine gunners reported
that six rebel horses were shot down
and one federal horse wounded. Fed
eral Commander Lucas Gonzalez de
clared his radio had intercepted a
message from General Topete, rebel
chieftain, to General FrancJsco Man
zo, revolutionary commander at Cul
iacan, Sinaloa, placing rebel human
casualties at one dead and two
wounded.
The rebels, tricked into their first
taste of land warfare here, whipped
their horses out of range, scurried
to a mountainside in a cloud of dust
and dismounted to survey the situa
tion. The main federal trenches were
not drawn into the action, altho sev
eral soldiers fired hopelessly at the
distant enemy cavalry. Tne engage
ment came after four days of counter
air raids in which the rebels claimed
the greatest success.
Observance believed that the circ
ling of rebel cavalry forecast an ad
vance by the main body, and spasmo
dic firing toward the federal trenches
here by the rebel horsemen was that
to be a cover to this movement. Thru
field glasses the rebels' position five
miles to the south seemed unchang
